PREFACE 

Practically  all  modern  Courses  of  Study  for  the  primary 
grades  outline  drill  on  phonics  or  the  elementary  sounds  of 
the  English  language.  These  drills  are  helpful  to  all  classes 
of  pupils,  but  are  especially  significant  for  children  whose 
vernacular  is  not  English,  In  all  these  cases  it  is  highly 
important  that  the  children  shall  have  the  benefit  of  drill 
on  the  phonic  elements  as  early  as  possible  in  school  life, 
and  thus  secure  facility  in  their  use. 

Other  aims  of  phonic  drill  are,  (a)  the  correction  of  defects 
in  the  organs  of  speech  while  pupils  are  still  young,  (6)  the 
development  of  the  power  of  correct  pronunciation.  The 
basis  for  these  drills  is  found  in  the  exercises  of  The  Mod- 
ern Word  Book,  which  includes  a  vocabulary  of  nearly  one 
thousand  common  words. 

At  the  beginning  of  this  little  book  the  pupil  is  taught 
the  use  of  each  letter  of  the  alphabet,  and  throughout  the 
words  are  grouped  in  such  a  manner  as  to  show 
Gro  i  their  similarities  of  form  and  sound,  thereby  assist- 
ing the  pupil  in  relating  each  letter,  or  phonogram, 
to  its  proper  sound.  Through  the  medium  of  these  exer- 
cises, the  pupils  are  rendered  self-helpful  and  independent 
in  learning  new  words.  This  result  is  of  great  pedagogic 
value,  since  it  lies  at  the  foundation  of  the  pupil's  success  in 
reading.

In  general,  the  vocabulary  of  this  book  is  presented  in 
both  print  and  script.  It  is  believed  that  the  presentation 
of  both  forms  on  the  same  page  will  assist  the 
w  \  pupil  in  acquiring  automatic  facility  in  their  use. 

A  glance  at  many  Primers,  Primary  Readers, 
and  Spellers  will  satisfy  you  that  no  provision  whatever  is 
made  in  them  for  familiarizing  pupils  with  the  phonic  ele- 
ments and  the  use  of  script.  Indeed,  in  many  courses  of 
reading,  the  responsibility  for  work  along  these  lines  is  im- 
posed on  the  teacher  without  even  a  helpful  suggestion 
from  the  textbook.  This  Word  Book  supplies  a  definite 
body  of  phonic  and  word  drill  for  use  in  the  primary  grades, 
so  arranged  that  even  inexperienced  teachers  can  develop  it 
with  success. 

On  the  pages  of  this  book,  pictures  play  quite  as  impor- 
tant a  part  as  they  do  in  any  Primer  or  Primary  Reader. 

_.  The  pictures  interest  the  children  and  relate  di- 

Pictures 

rectly  to  the  vocabulary.     From  an  artistic  point 

they  compare  favorably  with  the  best  specimens  of  the 
illustrator's  art.  Each  picture  is  a  center  of  helpful  sug- 
gestion, since  it  assists  the  pupil  in  apprehending  the  signifi- 
cance of  the  group  of  words  with  which  it  is  associated. 

The  phonic  elements  and  the  phonograms  are  introduced 
gradually,  and  each  is  made  the  subject  of  special  drill.  In 
Section  One,  the  script  is  confined  to  single  letters 
and  words.  In  Section  Two,  words  and  phrases 
are  presented  in  script.  In  Section  Three,  sentences  in  script 
are  presented  for  reading  and  copying.  By  means  of  these 
carefully  graded  exercises,  the  pupil  should  acquire  facility 
in  using  the  vocabulary  of  this  Word  Book  both  in  its 
spoken  and  written  forms. 


TO   THE   TEACHER 

In  this  Word  Book  it  is  assumed  that  the  teacher  will 
begin  the  work  of  phonic  drill  by  appealing  to  the  pupil's 

eye  and  car.  The  pupil  must  realize  that  there 
D  .^J110        is  a  relation  between  the  letters  which  compose  a 

word  as  it  appears  in  his  book,  or  on  the  black- 
board, and  the  sounds  which  he  hears  when  the  word  is 
spoken. 

Many  elaborate  devices  have  been  employed  to  suggest 
this  relation,  but  the  value  of  most  of  them  is  negligible. 
The  natural  and  direct  method  is  for  the  teacher  to  write 
a  word  on  the  blackboard,  pronounce  it  slowly,  dwelling 
somewhat  on  each  phonic  element,  and  thus  encouraging 
the  pupil  to  relate  each  letter  to  its  sound.  For  example: 
"me,"  "man,"  or  "mat"  may  be  used  for  this  purpose. 
Most  pupils  will  be  able,  after  a  little  time,  to  discriminate 
the  sounds  of  m-e,  m-a-n,  m-a-t,  and  from  these  they  will 
advance  readily  to  other  sounds.  Teachers  should  exercise 
care  in  these  initial  steps  in  phonics,  and  "make  haste 
slowly." 

Many  teachers  prefer  to  treat  certain  combinations  of 
two  or  more  letters,   that  occur  somewhat   frequently,   as 

phonic   units,  rather  than  to   analyze  them  into 
~        their  separate  phonic  elements.     For  example  :  — 

"  and,"  which  is  composed  of  three  elementary 
sounds,  is  considered  as  one  phonogram,  and  may  be  treated 
as  a  unit  in  the  phonic  drill  on  such  words  as  the  following: 
"b-and,"  "h-and,"  "1-and,"  "s-and,"  "br-and,"  "gr-and," 
"st-and,"  etc.

In  this  book  phonograms  are  recognized  in  many  exer- 
cises, while  in  many  others  the  words  are  analyzed  into 
their  "phonic  elements  and  their  written  symbols  clearly  set 
out  by  the  use  of  diacritics,  when  necessary.  So  long  as 
the  vowels  and  some  of  the  consonants  of  our  language  vary 
in  their  phonic  value,  so  long  will  it  be  necessary  to  use 
some  system  of  markings  to  discriminate  them.  The  ma- 
cron, breve,  and  a  few  of  the  more  common  diacritics,  are 
used  occasionally  in  this  book,  simply  for  the  purpose  of 
suggesting  to  the  teacher  the  conventional  means  of  indi- 
cating pronunciation. 

The  first  thirty-four  exercises  of  this  book  are  designed 
to  familiarize  the  pupils  with  the  use  of  the  alphabet  and 
the  common  digraphs  such  as  ch,  sh,  wh,  etc.  In 
Soelli  the  presentation  of  these  exercises,  the  study  reci- 

tation should  be  employed;  that  is  to  say,  the 
teacher  and  pupils  should  work  together  during  the  time 
assigned  to  the  recitation.  Each  letter  and  each  word 
should  be  visualized  by  the  pupil,  reproduced  on  the  black- 
board by  the  teacher,  and  the  pupils  taught  to  pronounce 
it  at  sight. 

On  reaching  exercise  thirty-six  of  Section  One,  the  formal 
drill  in  oral  spelling  should  begin.  When  the  exercise  is 
assigned  by  the  teacher,  the  difficulties  should  be  pointed 
out,  and  then  at  the  next  recitation  the  teacher  may  dictate 
the  words  and  require  the  pupils  to  spell  them  orally.  The 
work  of  Section  One  may  be  done  successfully  by  pupils 
in  the  last  half  of  the  first  grade. 

Throughout  Sections  Two  and  Three,  oral  spelling  should 
be  stressed  and  the  pupil  held  responsible  for  the  mastery 
of  all  words. 


Throughout  Sections  One  and  Two  of  this  Word  Book, 
the  script  work  is  limited  to  words  and  phrases  which  the 
pupil  should  copy  on  the  blackboard  or  on  his 
ScrM  tablet.  In  these  Sections,  nearly  six  hundred 
words  in  script  are  presented,  the  reading  and 
copying  of  which  will  give  the  pupil  facility  in  the  use  of 
the  script  forms. 

In  Section  Three,  the  work  in  script  is  limited  to  related 
sentences  which  provide  drill  on  more  than  five  hundred 
words.  The  copying  of  these  sentences  will  introduce  the 
pupil  to  the  use  of  capitals  and  punctuation  marks,  and 
thus  prepare  him  for  the  language  work  of  the  more  ad- 
vanced grades. 

Then,  too,  in  Section  Three,  pupils  should  be  able  to 
transfer  the  words  in  the  columns  from  the  print  to  the 
script  forms,  —  that  is  to  say,  they  should  copy  words  in 
script.  Teachers  who  encourage  this  line  of  work  will  lay  a 
firm  foundation  for  the  ready  use  of  words  in  both  reading 
and  wTriting. 

Teachers  should  utilize  the  Index  which  appears  on  page 
S,  and  from  time  to  time  review  the  phonic  symbols.  The 
Phonic  Charts  which  appear  on  pages  18,  19,  and 
Ind™  20  may  we^  ^e  copied  on  the  blackboard  and 
made  the  basis  of  frequent  drills.  A  few  minutes 
each  day  devoted  to  systematic  drill  on  the  phonic  elements 
will  result  in  better  tones  and  improved  pronunciation  on 
the  part  of  many  pupils.
